Android 15 release date for Pixel phones leaked

Google has already submitted the Android 15 code to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP), but the official update for its Pixel phones is yet to arrive. There have been several rumors about the release date of the new system and now we seem to have more concrete information. According to a recent report from Android Headlines, the Android 15 update will roll out to Pixel devices on October 15. This date is in line with Google’s typical update schedule, although there may be delays if any last-minute bugs crop up. The delay between the AOSP release and the OTA update for Pixel devices could indicate that Google is working on a more stable and refined release.

Supported Pixel devices

The Android 15 update will be available for the Pixel 6 series and newer models. This includes the Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel 8, and the newly announced Pixel 9 devices. Although the Android 15 code was available in the AOSP, Google has decided to delay the release for Pixel devices to ensure a smooth experience for users. The delay gives Google additional time to fix any major bugs or compatibility issues that might arise. Given the complexity of modern software updates, Google seems to be taking a more cautious approach. The company wants to make sure that Android 15 is as polished as possible before it reaches users’ phones.

If everything goes according to plan and there are no last-minute delays, the wait is almost over as we will be getting the Android 15 update in a few weeks. Since the Pixel 6 and newer models, including the latest Pixel 9, are set to receive the update, it’s a major software upgrade for Google’s flagship devices. Remember, Google announced its new Pixel devices early (in August instead of October) and that’s why it now seems like there’s a significant delay in the update’s release.
